if i have to take a crowbar to your mouth
to make what's on the inside come out
ivory chips falls to the floor
swept under the rug and out the door
what a night, back and forth
with no end in sight
i can't watch this again
you just don't understand

[Chorus:]
Why - do we always end right where we began?
We - can break this cycle if you'd just understand

if i have to take a crowbar to your mouth
to make what's on the inside come out
ivory chips fall to the floor
swept under the rug and out the door
what a night, back and forth
with no end in sight
i can't watch this again
you just don't understand

[Chorus]

Scream it to me and I swear I'll understand
I'd rather you scream your lungs out than
lay on the end, of my bed, with your head,
hanging over the edge, of this 4-cornered ship,
on a figure 8 trip

[Chorus]

I felt our swan song coming on
But I wasn't ready to sing it
You curled, up to me, knee to knee, with your eyes
Glazed over with pain
Hide behind your tears
Now let's confront our fears

[Chorus]
